Climate collapse. Culture wars. Physical wars. The global picture in these Roaring Twenties can leave little to inspire and uplift, and rhetoric is rife aiming to stoke fires of hate and distrust. But poetry – like many art forms, but perhaps more so than any other – is universal, and the power to unite.
It is so easy to be overwhelmed by the negative news churn surrounding the climate emergency, and in the slew of statistics it’s all too easy to forget how we come into the picture. Raising voices from around the globe, from across continents and myriad walks of life, Regeneration refocuses the lens on the complex relationship we have with nature. This is a powerful and wide-ranging exploration, a cry for change and a celebration of the forces for good all around us.
